HISTORY OF VIRGINIA FROM THE RE
PROCESSION OF ALEXANDRIA TO THE RE
CONSTRUCTION OF THE UNION.-Under
the ABOVE title, Col. J. L. Peyton is writ
ngahistory Of our State. Beginning about
ten Or fifteen years before the civil war,
the work will contain an elaborate account
''of the causes which led up to it and the
part taken therein by karginia and Vir-
ginians, and ending with the readmission
of Virginia into the Union in 1870. It
will cover the whole period of the civil war
and the succeeding five years, or the period
of reconstruction.
Concentrating his brilliant powers on
this work. it cannot be doubted that it will
be worthy Of The subject and the fame ac-
;quired by the author i'll his previous works.
TIE public will await the book with anx-
iety and Impotence, and we predict for it
immediate success-such a success as we
believe is due to the authors literary abil
tiles and his freedom from political preju-
dice and partz3n bias. The calm, dispas
gionate, philosophical character Of Col.
peytoa's mind, his uncommon Industry
: Al'painstaking research, his varied knowl-
edge. wouderfulmemory and bright, spark.
ling and graphic style, will in our opinion,
enable him ITO produce an elegant, pictur-
esque and faithful history, such as Vir
ginia may well be proud Of, and on which
the author may safely rest his fame.

The exports of wheat and cotton for the
month Of January, 1887. exceed those of
the same month in 1856 by $l5,000,000
This shows the effect of revived business
industrial activity in Europe. The
ries of life, and as the supply is not equal
to the demand on the other side of the
ocean, the United States is called upon to
supply the deficiency. With continued ac-
tivity in the manufactures, a noticeable

For some time our roads have been almost i'm
passable in many places, and in large majcri
ty of cases these bad places are within q few
feet of rock that could be used to good advan-
tage if the road master would make this Il point
in his haste to get-five miles of road repaired in
one day with so few hands. A word to the wise
ought to be sufficient.
Our little town is still looking up. Two new
dwellings are nearing completion.
Mr.. w. E. Slower, who has been milling at the
